Investigate Celia's past

Lead

Celia vaguely remembers the dark sky of Alabi

Key Events 

• Celia's ship speeds up before stopping in a chamber.
• The ocean and its inhabitants are suspended 1,000 ft. above us
• Suda is a bustling, jovial town that appears to be preparing for a festival. There are fireflies everywhere and a dull light at the back of the town
• Celia mentions there being a Dragon Turtle in the Western regions of Alabi
• Celia's ship is The Golden Girl
• The people of Suda are relaxed, but cautious around people. It is suggested that we don't mention the war
• Queen Odael is very kind and ensures the people of Alabi are content - no homelessness, and the streets are clean
• Suda seems to be populated mainly by Tieflings, Duergar and Deep Gnomes
• Celia presents the party with a badge each. It's a gold rectangle with a star in the middle, a chain hanging from the bottom, and another smaller skull with a star to the side
• There is a pit in the Southeast of Alabi containing a beautiful city. It's Mind Flayers and Intellect Devourers...
• Marius is the leader of Suda
• Warned that Undercommon is a main language here, look out for words like "Death" and "Kill them" (Celia tells us what those words are in Undercommon)
• There is a large willow tree in the center of town that has no leaves, but has a green glow emanating from its center
• Celia leads the party to a huge grey marble building at the back of the town, where we meet a purple cyclops and his Mezzoloth companion, Amon.
• Marius knows Celia as a sailor and nothing more, but has known her for 100 years. (Celia was discovered at Balor 50 years ago)
• Ridley messages Belzen to arrange a meeting to speak about the prism
• The festival the party is preparing for is the Festival of the Willow. It happens once every 10 years, when the willow tree blooms
• The party ends up at Bitterfrost Bar, which is run by Isla
• Metes & Bounds is the local cartographer, Knitwit is the local General Store, Stormy Windmill is a carpenter
• The party wanders around Suda, visiting various places and familiarising themselves with the layout.
• Metes & Bounds is organised chaos. The shop-keep, Glide, is a Deep Gnome with braided hair and robes that are waaaaaaayyyyyyy too big
• A map of Alabi is purchased for 5gp. The party requests Glide marks the mushroom forests and the Mind Flayer city on the map for them
• Ridley purchases Cartographer's Tools
• Glide tells us about a soul-sucking mist in the cursed forest, and warns us about the pies at the festival's pie eating contest
• Knitwit is run by a Duergar called "Dul'ma" - I didn't note any purchases
• The party visits Stormy Windmill carpenter, where we pay 50gp each to swap our current cart to one that is more suited for Alabi's climate
• We visit the bookshop Mark My Words to purchase some books on Undercommon (10gp)
• We're pushed out of the store as the Festival of the Willow begins - around 6pm in-game
• The party takes on the pie eating contest, which Ridley wins
• Miraren speaks to some members of The Garnet Hand, discovers that there are 3 of the prisms Celia remembers.
  • One is located in the Queen's chambers
  • Another is in the Capital with Sedvioth Crofkeve "Beloth" (who is the leader of The Garnet Hand!!!!!)
  • The last was either lost at sea or is in transit somewhere

The party reaches Alabi and has some fun at the Festival of the Willow
